[jetty-discuss] CLASSPATH/Jars on the command line with start.jar?

[Otis G. <oti...@ya...>]

Hello,

Goal:
  Instead of including Jars and resource/config files inside a WAR,
tell Jetty where to load them from.

Problem:
  I tried adding all my Jars and resource/config dirs to CLASSPATH
before calling java -jar start.jar
  I tried using the full CLASSPATH with all my jars/etc. in it on the
command line with '-cp': java -cp $CLASSPATH -jar start.jar


Neither approach worked.
I get a feeling I could monkey something out if I modified some config
file inside start.jar.
However, is there an easier, more external approach, that will let me
specify things on the command line or in some external config file, or
something like that?

Thanks,
Otis
P.S.
I'd like to keep my own Jars separate from Jetty's, so I'd like to stay
away from Jetty's lib/ dir.
